About Muchachito

We tell stories that matter, crafted with creativity, precision, and heart.

Our Story

Muchachito is an audiovisual production company based in Paris, founded by a team of Mexican creatives who came together to tell meaningful, cinematic stories that transcend borders. Rooted in Mexico but shaped by our journeys around the world, we bring a unique perspective to filmmaking—one that merges Latin American sensibilities with “the French touch.”

We found ourselves in Paris, drawn by a desire to chase narratives and experiences rooted in the realities we observed, shaping stories that reflect both our origins and the world around us.

Muchachito is also a reminder to have fun—to approach storytelling with curiosity, playfulness, and passion. We do this because we love it, because creating is part of who we are.

Our Vision

We believe in the power of storytelling to connect people, regardless of language or background. Our approach is deeply cinematic; we don’t chase trends or create disposable content. Instead, we craft narratives that resonate—honest, raw, and real. Creation is a responsibility, and we are committed to projects that reflect genuine human experiences.

Muchachito carries that same spirit: we create films that speak beyond language, that bring people together through the power of images and emotion
